I only heard of your loss yesterday and I am so sorry. I knew Randy through Aaron (my cousin) and John. I feel fortunate to have met Randy and he will certainly be missed. I regret not having known of his passing, or I'd have certainly been there. I am quoting a movie when I say this, but I believe Randy was that 30 minutes of wonderful in a lifetime of nothing special. God Bless You and your family.

Carolyn, Paula, and Family,
This loss is tugging at my heartstrings - I can't imagine the ache that is intruding your hearts. He's so young.
I previously worked with Carolyn and only met Randy about a year ago. I called upon Randy one evening for a hugh favor. He came to our rescue without delay and without a payback request. He was so helpful, funny, and easy to talk with. This was the evening I met my neighbor from down the hill. It was after this encounter that I took notice of the many times he was riding on his adult toys with one of his kids in hand. It was such a sweet sight to witness.
Know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers. Paula, if you are ever in need, please do not hesitate to call on your neighbor up the hill.
